About a week and a half ago my home page started going to a site for Microsoft to download a beta version of Internet Explorer 8. I have emailed them twice. They sent me to their search page. I complained saying they cause the problem and then make me search? They sent me to a link to stop the problem but that didn't work. Anyone have any suggestions? My home page still says what I want it to be under tools/internet options. Thanks for any help with this.

Katie Baines, sounds like 'home page hijacking' to me. Find an excellent, somewhat elegant treatise on it @:
